When I was in Kauai, the weather was perfect. It got up to around 85 degrees but it was always windy, providing the perfect refreshing breeze. As I sit here in Atlanta waiting for the predicted “wintery mix” to fall, I reminisce about the breezy beach days I had in Kauai. One morning, after brunch, Johnny spotted a perfect Hawaii flower on the ground near a bush. I took it and wore it behind my ear (and in by braid) for the remainder of the trip. It went perfectly with my L*Space swimsuit and Anthropologie scarf/sarong.
As I mentioned in Friday’s post, my days were always full so after the beach, I’d have to layer on a dinner-appropriate dress when I didn’t have a chance to go home in between the beach and dinner. One of my favorite dresses I brought was this blue one. I love it for traveling because it’s actually reversible, so it’s really great for saving some space in that carryon. The reverse side is white, but I didn’t get any good photos of it during the trip.

I really loved finding that flower and wearing it in my hair during those last few days on the island. It was so special to take a part of Kauai with me all day. Can you tell I miss it there?
P.S. I swear I’m wearing bottoms. Not sure how it ended up looking like that?? Oops!

I want you to take this to heart when I say you look like a mermaid washed up on the beach. These photos are beautiful, the story is romantic, and the outfit is great (I love carry on travel)
Don’t despair the “Winter Mix” it’ll be over soon!
